Throughout the piece there is a syncopated rhythmic pattern with the overall strong beat of each measure. Performed in duple meter, the tempo remains the same throughout. Mancini created this piece to be…

surgical masks and hair bonnets surround the other man. Each methodically places sterile nitrile gloves over their respective hands without saying a word. Silently each nods to the other across the table before one begins to select a specific surgical instrument for what the man can only guess is some kind of surgical procedure.
